Cathedrale De Bourges

Reviewed By MattNys - Antwerp, Belgium

France being the walhalla of Cathedral lovers, if you have to choose a few, put Bourges at the top of your list. Beautiful city, fantastic Cathedral, I have never seen such a fine stained window art and there are so many windows to see. If you have the time, book a tour with a guide that knows the stories of each window, You will not be bored. If you don't have the time, just walk around in awe.

Palais Jacques-Coeur

The “Grant’Maison” of Jacques Cœur, financier to king Charles VII, was built in the mid-15th century and is one of the most beautiful examples of Gothic civic architecture in France. The relatively unadorned western facade, built on the Gallo-Roman town walls, contrasts starkly with the richly decorated eastern facade overlooking the street. The Palais Jacques Cœur is a fine example of the Flamboyant style of the late Middle Ages and its attention to the comfort of the inhabitants prefigures the great residences of the Renaissance.

Henri Bourgeois

Reviewed By 494de - Austin, United States

Henri Bourgeois provides several options for trying their wines. We splurged on a private tour, and it did not disappoint. Our guide was charming, and extremely knowledgeable. His English was very good and he worked hard to explain everything to us as clearly as possible. Excellent wines, and a great example of the variety in Sancerre production. I booked the tour before we left the US. Super easy on their website. We are so grateful to have had this opportunity. Can’t wait to find their wines when we return to the states.
